Ron, this is SO unbelievably IMPRESSIVE to see it's really hard to put
into words. I mean you know something EXTRA special is happening
when you can create such a STUNNINGLY beautiful watch ! cheers another recent build 46145
There are MANY watches out there to see, and many watches to
enjoy. However, most of the time when we see a watch we like,
we can than decide to maybe go out and buy it. This here is taking
things up more than a few levels, when you can ACTUALLY think
about, plan, and then CREATE your very own watch. Shocked Smile It just
has to be AMAZINGLY satisfying to know you can do this, and do
it to such a expertly high level TOO ! ..Honestly if you didn't say
that you built this watch, we would be thinking it came from one
of the cool watch brands out there, but this is different. Once you
start looking around, you notice there is more going on here with this
watch you made. You notice that things are just PERFECT at every
glance, at every turn. Just taking the case first of all for instance,
it's easy to see and ENJOY not only the size, but the way the brushing
is on the front and sides of it. Also the polished sections on the back
are flawless. Even how the lugs, and how the screws fit through to
the strap is EXCELLENT ! ..I notice also that this crown is a uniquely
nice and cool one as well, that you don't see all of the time. Smile Then
when you stare at the dial, which is easy to do, you notice those
INCREDIBLY eye-catching numbers, and markers. I can't get enough
of that green, and white combination. Almost seems as if the dial
is alive !!! ..Those hands make things exciting as well, as they swipe
their way across your dial in style. another recent build 803574 Even the center circle, along
with the sub-dial circle work AMAZINGLY well, and couldn't be cooler
Ron. I especially like the sub-dial hand there !!! Yowza ! ..Hey, and
the crystal even seems to fit so perfectly into the case as well. It's
GREAT to see how this creation comes together in EVERY way. Just
when you think it can't get ANY better, you turn the watch over,
and are STUNNED by what you see. A movement with ALL of the
decoration, all of the brushing, all of the screws, gears, and character
you could want in a watch ! Woohoo !!! another recent build 933578 ..By the way, that movement
number is new to me Ron ! ..Not sure if it's old or new, but thank you
for putting it in your watch and showing it. Oh, and one more thing
with the watch..the strap looks AWESOME TOO ! ..Sets off that dial
PERFECTLY ! ..I guess that's the theme with your newest creation Ron !
..Perfection ! Smile ..It's also something uniquely special ! Something that
goes beyond a name on the dial, or price on a tag. It's something made
with your own hands, and is something to be VERY proud of, and enjoy
forever !!! ..Congratulations on this Ron, and congrats on finding new
ways to have fun with this hobby also ! ..Enjoy !!!

Excellent creation AND pictures !

this one here was pretty easy, no modding here, just a simple installing of a movement and hands. The regulating of the older movements takes a bit of time without the electronics.
btw, this is now on a Steinhart pilot strap


thanks everyone!
wow Tom! thank you very much another recent build 46145
